This article explores the interplay between cultural identity, intercultural dialogue, and globalization, examining how increased cultural contact in a globalized world shapes identity formation. Cultural identity is defined as self-identification with cultural patterns, influenced by diverse cultural interactions. The research addresses the challenges of forming cultural and national identities amidst intercultural exchanges, emphasizing the risk of identity loss and cultural re-evaluation. It highlights the potential for ethnic confrontations and local identity reinforcement due to globalization. By focusing on the balance between cultural convergence and preservation, the study exposes gaps in understanding the complexities of multiculturalism. Using a qualitative approach, the findings reveal tensions between integration and identity preservation, with implications for addressing cultural extinction and promoting intercultural understanding.
